**Danny POV**
Well…it was less…big I guess. I couldn't get lost in it….I hoped. Vlad and I stood while Tucker floated outside our new house. It was still big. It had slot of windows, all which were covered by some kind of curtain. Mostly, silver. The outside was a warm cherry wood color. There was a huge garage and a rather big door as well. Vlad was twitching, like he was hyper. I sighed and turned to him.
"Why are you so twitchy?" He handed me a key.
"Go ahead, check it out. I'll be right behind you." Vlad turned to the driver and began to talk with him. I sighed. Time to see my new home. I walked up the stone steps. There weren't as many as at the mansion, but it still managed to look nice. I used my key and turned the knob. I pushed open the door and, giving tucker a nervous look, turned on the light.
The first thing I noticed was the huge crystal chandelier on the high ceiling. Directly across from me were stairs, and to the right was a living room. The carpet was a rich red color, and the walls were white with wood trim. There was a huge, fancy fireplace on the wall closest to me, and a huge TV on the wall opposite the couch separating the entrance and the living room. There was a cherry wood table in front of the white couch, and then a couple of white chairs around it. It wasn't too bad. Under the TV was a huge rack with DVDs, a TiVo box, and every kind of game console you could think of. Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, play station three and more I couldn't name. There was an empty doorway leading to the dining room. Instead, I looked to my left and saw a nice looking table and shoe rack, coat hanger and mirror with a small bowl for cell phones and keys. Then there was a hall way. I decided to look into the dining room first.
There was a huge sliding door that leads to the side yard. I glanced out and saw a couple cool trees, perfect climbing size. The dining room was what I expected. Rose colored walls with a nice table and several chairs. The floor was cool though, white threads spider webbing across a brown back drop. I walked to the kitchen.
The kitchen was cool. Lots of marble and an island in the middle. There were some cool flowers in clear vases. This room seemed to be cold, unlike the last to. It was mainly white and silver. Although it looked really high tech. Knowing Vlad, he probably got the most expensive things without making it look like it. The island even had bar chairs. I went back through the dining room and back to the entrance.
So far, it was amazing! I can't believe he got those game consoles…just for me! I turned to the left and went through the first door in the hallway. Tucker and I couldn't help but gasp. The swimming pool… My mouth hung open like a hinge. On the walls were Stereo speakers. There was a huge TV screen on the far side, right next to the spa encased in marble. The ceiling was covered with rainbow colored lights, giving the room and really, really cool look. There was even a small piece of marble that came out of the wall that had water running down it into the pool. The whole room looked blue and green, and then I realized there where green marble strips across the wall. To the left, I saw a huge wooden sauna. Outside of the door and lining the back wall were big, red, plushy pool chairs that were leaning back and had a purple overhang. Oh my god. I even saw a door on the other side. I went into it, quickly going around the pool and trying not to fall in. The door lead to a gym.
This room had a white ceiling with green…plant things hanging down. The walls were a wood brown along with the floors. It was filled with the normal things…weights, running equipment, and most of it was slim and new and covered with diamonds or crystals or something. To the left was a staircase next to a bathroom. I didn't bother looking in there, but I did go up the staircase.
Apparently, there was another layer separating this room from the top to the gym, because I didn't see any plants. This room was white, with some bull's eyes stacking a corner and a couple of punching bags. There were rings too, large enough for a person to fit through. I wondered what they were for before I decided to look at everything else. Tucker and I left the gym and the pool and came out in the hallway. I pushed open the next door open to reveal a huge library.
First, it was two stories. The whole room was wood and red splattered her and there. There were several couches on the bottom, and even a few in the top part. Each chair had its own lamp too. The black staircases twisted several times before reaching level two. The floor was a cute brown and egg white color, checkering across the library. Nice.
There was also another big door on the opposite side. I decided to find out where that leads. So when I pushed open the huge door I smiled. It was a garden. A bit hotter in here, there were a bunch of windows to look outside. There was a stone path that leads through the garden and into a sitting area. The sides were bamboo, covering whatever color the walls were before. I looked around with amazement. Squash, Carrots, mushrooms, Aloe Vera plants, Tomatoes, strawberries, peppers and cucumbers, small cantaloupe, a bunch of small plants labeled Herbs. Oregano, Basil, Parsley, Rosemary, Chives, Catnip, thyme, and sage. Beets, potatoes, kale, spinach. It was amazing, and it smelled really good too. There was a soft music playing. Classical I think. For the plants? I shrugged and turned to Tucker.
"This is so cool. Next room." He flew past the bamboo. A few second later, he stuck his head out. "You have GOT to see this!" I exited through the library and into the hall. I pushed open the door to see a huge, colorful room that took up twice the space of the library and the pool. A game room.
The floor was covered in a variety of different colors, lime green bright yellow electric blue. There were purples and reds and nothing was a dull or faded color at all. The ceiling was covered in different colored lights, and behind that a normal white. There was a huge TV screen with even more game consoles. My god those companies must love Vlad. There was a whole wall with Video games and DVDs. The other wall was pinball machines and arcade games. On the other side was a small bar with (non-alcoholic) drinks. Including a slurpee dispenser and a pop-corn maker. There was a hot dog cooker and a donut-maker. The couches were white and covered with bright green and red blankets. There was a pool table first and foremost, along with a foosball table next to it. I turned to look at the wall that was where the door to the hall was. Tucker and I laughed out loud. The whole wall depicted a scene from the all-time favorite, Mario. Little blocks and green pipes covered the wall. Cheesy clouds were painted on the top of the wall. I turned back to the room. I wasn't surprised to notice I missed something. To the left was a poker table! I smiled. I loved this room.
And Vlad bought all of it! I turned to Tucker, barely containing my excitement. I ran out of the room and into the hall, tucker zooming after me. I yanked open the next room. And guess what. Vlad bought me a bowling alley. Tucker and I laughed out loud. It even came with the stupid shoes and cheap pizza and nachos! I noticed another light switch and sure enough, black lights. NICE! We ran to the door opposite. Tucker and I heaved it open to find a huge home theater.
"YEAH!" Tucker whirled and high-fived me. I was excited to. All this…I ran into the hall again, Tucker zooming after me. The next room was a tennis court. Cool. And the room connected to that on the other side was a yoga room. We could tell by the pictures on the walls and the mats on the floor. We ran into the hall again. The next room was a bar, and the room connected to that was a min-golf course. Inside! The next door opened to a Wine cellar, and tasting room. There was a trophy room, and then a painting room. Cool! I wonder if Vlad would teach me to paint…the there was only one door left, leading to the garage. There was a note on it.
This room is for last. Once you're done exploring, come get me so we can look together.
-Vlad
I shook my head. That was weird, but okay. I hopped from foot to foot. I was living in the coolest house EVER! Tucker and I made our way back to the entrance. We looked at the stairs excitedly. What would my room look like? We made our way up slowly. On the first left, was labeled 'guest bedroom'. Inside was a nice wooden room with a huge window, complete with dark green curtains. The opposite wall was complete with a huge TV, and the weird part was the fact that the wall was basically a huge fish tank. Cool, though. It cast a cool blue light on the room. There was a desk with a lamp, a wardrobe and a dresser. There was a table with a mirror and a chair, and a cool plant thing in the corner. It even had a big couch, big enough for someone to sleep on. Very cool. The door to the right, across from the guest bedroom was of course labeled the guest bathroom.
It was...normal I guess, for Vlad. The walls were black and white and everything was silver. The bathtub was huge of course, and it had a separate shower. There were black circle rugs on the marble floor. There was even a sound system. I smiled as I closed the door. The next ones were Vlad's bed and bath. I was surprised at his bedroom though. It was very…Zen. The walls were white and they had random plants spiraling up the walls. The bed was close to the floor and dressed in simple red and black sheets. The dresser was black and red, with red scented candles on top. There was a straw mat on the floor, covering its whiteness. There was a bonsai tree on top of a shelf that looked like a staircase. There was even a small waterfall in the corner, dribbling gently over stones. There was a cool sculpture in the other corner. I gave Tucker a told you so look and looked into the bathroom.
Vlad's bathroom was the same. The floor lifted a couple steps until you came to a bathtub that was laying into the ground. It was surrounded by scented things and rocks. There were even some black and white pictures on the walls of nature. I sighed and went to the next room. Another Guest and Guest bath. I took a peek inside. There was a big fluffy bed in the corner with white sheet with blue and green dots on it. There were small globes that gave off light over the bed, looking to be made over paper. The biggest was white, while the other two were a soft green and blue. The walls were blue and the floor a wood but it was covered mostly by a white shag carpet. There were hundreds of pillows on the bed. I looked up to see a pretty good replica of the stars in the sky in glow in the dark stars. There was a white desk with a laptop, cell phone and blue IPod on it. I almost laughed. This wasn't a guest room it was Dani's. There was a huge white bookcase on one wall. There was a wardrobe and a dresser too. Oh yeah and the standard really big flat screen. Tucker and I closed the door and looked into the bathroom.
It was majorly white with green, blue, yellow and purple circles danced across the room. They started, most condensed, at the bathtub and made their way to the ceiling. That bathtub was in the floor to. It wasn't too fancy, but very simple and…normal. I frowned. I hope Dani decided to stay. There were blue circle mats on the floor and the sink was…a triangle? Cool.
We looked at the last bedroom door on the second floor. Danny's room was written in a cool font across the black door in green ink. I looked to Tucker.
"Open it!"
I did and stepped in. I gasped. The room had white walls, but the dark blue and green lights cast a cool look. My bed was white, but looked a little like water because of the glass the light was shining through. There was a fan on the ceiling, bright ectoplasmic green. There was a brown wardrobe and a back dresser. My bedside table had a new book on it, 'The Magnetic Resonance in Colloid and Interface Science', and a lamp that was the same green as my fan. A black desk stood at the corner with something on it. There was a TV and some movies and an Xbox 360, complete with games. There was a circle chair that was green at the base of my bed. I looked up the ceiling and smiled. Clouds floated aimlessly on the blue surface. It was like it was still moving, and was captured by an expert artist, which it probably was. I wanted to cry. This was so nice….I shook my head. I need to see it all first. There was a black sound system in my room too, complete with a two shelves full of CD's. The floor was covered by a really soft black carpet. There was a little black circle couch near my TV, big enough for five people. I saw an empty picture frame over my desk. As I walked closer, I realized it was for my family picture. That's awesome! Someone had painted little grey circles on my walls and, if you stared at them they seemed to move. I ran to the bathroom.
Needless to say, AWESOME! Maybe I should say it again. Tucker practically cried when he saw my bathroom. I simply laughed, I was so happy. The bathtub was to the right, and it was pretty big. It was held up by a few black steps, and it had jets in it! There were glowing shapes above the bathtub too. A green triangle, a red circle, a blue X and a pink square! The play station symbols in all their rightful colors. The shower was opposite. It was white marble with soft edges too, just giving the room a more gamey look. There was a big circle mirror above the black sink, with black shelves holding toiletries and brushes, hairdryer and deodorant and some cologne. The best part? The toilet. It was green. Not only was it lime green, but it glowed. HA! There was a stem of pink cherry blossoms next to the sink as well. I was pulled out of my looking when Tucker pulled me by the shoulder.
"What?" He simply yanked me to my room and pointed to the black square on my desk. To the left was a charger for my cell phone, a stand, and one for my Bluetooth too. Before I could look at the square, I noticed an IPod. That had my name engraved on the back. I gaped. And IPod? For me? Vlad bought me an IPod after all this? I picked I up. A thin, black, 160GB IPod…I gaped more. With wireless ear buds? And a white speaker set that charges the IPod too?
"…Danny."
"What?" I whispered.
"The Alienware M17x…" I looked over to see Tucker staring at the black square. I looked closer. It had an alien head that was glowing red on the top of it. I put the IPod down and pulled open the screen of the…laptop? Tucker was amazed. "Wooowww."
"A…laptop?"
"That's the ultimate gaming machine Danny." I wanted to start it up…but Vlad was waiting so we could look in the garage…Vlad…Oh my god! I jumped up.
"Vlad bought me a laptop and an IPod and an awesome room-"
"I believe you now he's great."
"I have to thank him!" We stared at each other for a second. Then we ran. Seriously, we busted out of that room like Barney was inside.
**Vlad POV**
The driver finally pulled off. After like, twenty minutes of talking about his kids. Although, the stories were kind of cute…I shook my head. I had to stop…doing that! I sighed and looked at the house. My house. No, our home. Daniel and I's, and temporary host to Tucker's ghost. And hopefully, Danielle will be here to soon. I wondered if Daniel had seen his room. Had he gone downstairs to the new Lab/clinic? It was much better than the old one, and I'm sure he would appreciate it. I walked up the steps slowly. Well, this would certainly be exciting. Daniel never had much…and now he had everything. I chuckled, wondering how he would react. I pulled open the door to my new house when something came barreling into me. It took me a second before I realized it was Daniel and he was hugging me.
"Daniel?" I tried to compose myself. He was hugging me! I was so happy. Then Daniel and Tucker were talking animatedly.
Daniel started first. "My bedroom! So cool-"
"No the Alienware laptop so New-"
"The bathroom! Playstation glowing-"
"The IPod too was super cool"
"The clouds on my ceiling so amazing-"
"The game room was soooooo-"
"Pool table and poker and-"
"Mario on the wall and pop corn and hot dogs"
"Theater with bowling alley and nachos and"
"Alienware laptop!"
"Pool with lights and sauna and looks so cool-" I put up me hand to silence the boys. I felt like I was blushing. Daniel was so happy he was still holding onto me! I knew they might be excited but really…I guess it was the teenage dream.
"I'm glad you like it Daniel." I looked to the black haired boy, who squeezed me harder.
"Thank you thank you thank you-" I wrapped my arms around him.
"Your very much welcome." I let go of him and peeled him from my suit. "Now, there's another thing I want to show you." He stepped back and looked to Tucker, a question in his eyes.
"What else could you possibly get me?"
I laughed and walked into the house. "Come with me." I heard Daniel walk after me and I assumed Tucker was coming too, just floating quietly. If Daniel's been happy about the house, I can't wait to see his face light up when he gets a look at what I bought him. I went the garage and stopped outside the door. "Are you ready?" He nodded excitedly. I opened the door to reveal the garage.
It was a silver design, and it was fairly clean. There were three vehicles in here. The first two was my Koenigsegg CCX and my Lamborghini Reventon. And then, the third. I watched as Daniel walked slowly up to the black object with the huge red ribbon on it. I so wished I would hear what he was thinking right now…
He stared, stopping a foot away, at the MV Agusta F4CC. As it was a 120,000 dollar motorcycle, it went very fast. And I knew how much he missed flying. On top was of course, a biker's black and red helmet to match the design of the bike. A leather jacket with padding, the most expensive and protective I could buy. Which was the most expensive and protective. There isn't anything I couldn't buy. It helped that the jacket also looked good. At first, I wasn't sure if I should. Then I realized if I let him fight ghosts, I should let him ride a motorcycle. Anyway, it's not like his powers are gone. He just can't consciously use them. And all the fighting ghosts and raised his reaction time far above any humans.
It had 195 mph top speed, and there are only 100 models worldwide. This one was number 39. I was really hoping my lucky number would help Daniel not get in crash. I bit my lip as Daniel hasn't said a thing. I walked up to him and crouched down next to him.
"Daniel?"
He blinked. "I love you Vlad." I smiled as I felt the warmth spread through my body. I knew he was just saying that because of the bike- "No, seriously." He looked me right in the eye. "I fucking love you." I started. Well, that was…huh.
"I love you to Daniel." I smiled more. Oh my god, my mind could barely wrap around what just happened. Daniel turned to me again, ripping his gaze for the bike.
"This is why you made me get a motorcycles permit too." I nodded. He smiled mischievously. "Can I go for a ride?"
**Sam POV**
Zack and I sat, enjoying our respectable meals at Taco bell. I was of course having a salad and Zack was having a crunchwrap supreme. He really did like those. He ordered one every time!
"Thank you Sam" Zack muttered while he munched.
"Oh for the fifth time shut up already. I love you man and I know you don't have a job or cash. So Zip it." I sighed. He really did like saying thank you too. I mean, once is nice, twice is funny but anything past three is just plain annoying. "So what are we doing tonight? It's what, twelve thirty?"
Zack shrugged. "Go drop off food to mom and then…" We thought for a moment. "How about Dane cook?"
"Hmm….alright. Why not, we'll try it. Oh, but what about Russell Brand?" I took a bite of salad.
"What about him?"
"He just came out with this stand-up comedy bit. Want to see it?" Zack nodded furiously. Oh, the comedy. I sucked on my ranch packet as we heard a motorcycle roar and dye outside the Taco Bell. "I think he talks about that thing with Brittany spears and the elephant." Zack laughed. The door opened and for some reason or another, I turned to see who it was. His face was obscured in a black and red motorcycle helmet, but based of his height and built he can't be much older than us.
"Do we know him?" Zack asked and I shook my head violently. And then I gasped as he lifted his hand to pull off the helmet. His black hair shone in the fake, artificial lighting.
"Zack!" I hissed quietly. "That's Danny! Masters son!" I turned quickly and I saw Zack give him a look.
"Hmmm…I don't trust him."
"Why?"
"He rides a motorcycle and is wearing a leather jacket and is paying with a credit card right now."
"Really?" I was about to turn but stopped myself. "No wait. You hate every guy I like!" I accused him. It was true.
"That's cuz I have a sixth sense. Remember what's-his-name from Hungary?" I frowned at him. "Well, I can be overprotective too, so what?"
"And you're judging on looks! We're like pariahs for god's sake! Hypocrite." I folded my arms grumpily.
"Fine." He got an odd glint in his eye. He waited until Danny got his food and then- "Danny! Over here!" He waved his arm and Danny gave him an odd look. "Come sit with us." I growled.
"Little bastard evil son of a b-Hi Danny! Remember me, I'm Sam from Death." He nodded hesitantly. "Danny, this is Zack. Zack, Danny. Sit down." I told him because he was standing awkwardly. I could tell, for a second he wanted to just run but Zack took a hold of his leather jacket and pulled him into the seat next to him. He set his tray down while giving Zack another odd look.
"Hi Danny. Nice to meet you." Zack smiled. Danny picked off his gloves and set his helmet down beside him, not replying.
"Um, Zack. Remember when I told you Danny doesn't talk much?"
Zack nodded. "That's alright, I don't mind. I'll just ask yes or no questions."
**Danny POV**
Oh crap run away run away run away….I was really just going to walk away indifferently but the boy grabbed my arm and pulled me down. Great. Stuck. He told me it was nice to meet me. No it wasn't. I don't talk. Then Sam reminded him and the boy-Zack? Decided to talk for both of us. Fantastic. He asked me if I rode often. I shook my head as I unwrapped my burrito not making eye contact. He figured the bike was new? I nodded. I really hoped this would be over soon. Did I have to talk to them? Really? What kind of cold, cruel world is this? But I kind of didn't mind. I was still overflowing with good feeling from that wild ride. I really did like going fast. Did Masters buy it for me? I nodded while I took a bite. Obviously. Vlad was awesome.
"So Danny, are you going to be going to the public school here?" Sam asked, sounding kind of hopeful. I nodded slowly. Oh boy, two kids who think they want to be my friends. Well, unless they want to die they better keep their distance. She smiled. "Will you tell us how you got that scar? It's cool." I touched my jaw. Yeah it was cool, and no I wasn't going to tell you I was fighting a future, evil version of me when he blew up my family and gave me this scar. I shook my head.
"Bummer." Zack laughed. "So, you were adopted?" I nodded. "So, are you related to Masters any way?" I shook my head. "What happened to your parents?" I stopped mid bite. You've got to be kidding me. It's only been two weeks! I sighed and put my burrito on my plate. He probably thought I was going to say something because he leaned forward. Instead, I put on my gloves very slowly and calmly. I stood up, dumped my food and shoved my helmet back on.
"Wait-he didn't mean-" I let Sam's voice bounce against the door as I closed it behind me.
I needed to go. Anywhere. And really, really fast.
